‘Those two are my favourites,’ I tell him,
‘I remember seeing them with Mom.’
Two distinct sentences.
Separate.
Unconnected.
And then-
‘Do you think they’re your favourites
because you saw them with her?’
A link so blindingly obvious it took
someone else to make me see it,
a connective instead of a full stop,
and now, full understanding,
those two are my favourites
because I saw them with her.
